Trivedi should ask his handlers why secrecy?

Shyam
Your free-thinking readers are now witnessing how schoolboy Trivedi still prefers the pretty 'Amway' fairytale ('Billions of Dollars of Sales via Millions of Prosperous Distributors') to the ugly reality (massive attrition/drop-out rate due to universal insolvency) lurking behind it.
Typically of a cult, the 'Amway' Misistry of Truth has made a damn good job of alienating Trivedi's from the truth and destroying his trust in all external sources of information. He remains convinced that 'Amway's figures' are authentic, and the fact that these have been widely-repeated (without any qualification) by ill-informed third parties does not help. Unfortunately for Trivedi, 'Amway's' so-called 'sales' only represent the size of the (effectively) closed-market (i.e. the amount of money which is flowing into the hands of the billionaire bosses of the 'Amway' mob from their adherents). Tellingly, the 'Amway' Ministry of Truth has steadfastly boasted 'Billion Dollar Annual Sales,' but it has deliberately never made any distinction between authentic retail sales (to persons who are not agents of the organization) and internal transactions. In the same way, the 'Amway' Ministry of Truth has steadfastly boasted 'Millions of Independent Business Owners', but it has never revealed that only a tiny minority of these people remain in 'Amway' for more than 5 years.
Fortunately, all Trivedi has to do to discover that he is being manipulated by some very evil people, is put the following questions to his 'Amway' handlers:
- Over the last several years, what percentage (by value) of 'Amway's' published 'multi-billion dollar sales' have actually been to persons who are not agents of the organization?
- Over the previous 5 year cycle, what has been the overall attrition/ drop-out rate amongst non salaried 'Amway' commission agents ?
- Why have these figures been kept secret ?
There is no way that Trivedi will get intelligible answers from 'Amway.'

I will go one by on

1.regarding your statement
" 'Amway' Ministry of Truth has steadfastly boasted 'Billion Dollar Annual Sales,' but it has deliberately never made any distinction between authentic retail sales (to persons who are not agents of the organization) and internal transactions."

Amway sales are the wholesale sales and not the retail sales.

let me clear u, Until 1999 sales were reported at Estimated Retail. This is approximately 32% higher than actual sales revenues from sales made to Amway distributors.
In 2000, Amway was restructed to become a part of holding company Alticor. Alticor and Quixtar sales data is reported as actual sales (which is wholesale sales).

2. Regarding your statement
"He remains convinced that 'Amway's figures' are authentic, and the fact that these have been widely-repeated (without any qualification) by ill-informed third parties does not help."

I think you consider blog as more credible source, I can't help with such mentality


3. Over the previous 5 year cycle, what has been the overall attrition/ drop-out rate amongst non salaried 'Amway' commission agents ?


its very simple shyam.

i know the answer, many people last for days, weeks or even years it becomes hard for such companies to keep a track.

even it is hard for a company to have the attrition rate of its sales department, especially i am talking about door to door marketing.

i have been working in door to door marketing companies and i got the similar reply from a team agent.

Or in other words can u tell me a company which gives information regarding its attrition rate of commission based employees?


4. and regarding to your question

"Over the last several years, what percentage (by value) of 'Amway's' published 'multi-billion dollar sales' have actually been to persons who are not agents of the organization?"

I am not able to understand what you want to know
